Hello gents.
Long since i've posted something in here. I bought a gen 14790ST newly serviced/polished a while back, but never got to reviewing it against the 15202ST. So here it is.
14790ST gen:
15202ST ZF v1, modded:
Perhaps it isn't completely correct to compare a "mini-jumbo" with a jumbo, but still i think it makes sense to compare them. Because the finishing, looks, dial finishing etc can be compared.
The ZF 15202ST first version was modded with the following mods:
It got waterproofed, rotor silencing, the "pizza hand base" was modded. Also the case and bracelet he bevelled and refinished. That made the case and bracelet not only look better but also much more comfortable to wear.
In the pictures you can see there's not much difference by the naked eye in the finishing of the case/bracelet. Only thing i could see when holding the watches besides eachother was, that the 14790ST was slightly more shiny. Also the ZF 15202ST v1 is quite thin and wears pretty flush with the wrist.
The dials off course have different color, as the 14790ST also has some nuances where it looks azure blue-green, while the 15202ST is more blue. Both can look a bit black and steel-grey depending on the lighting.
But the interesting part is, that the ZF dial is not as shiny as the gen, nor has the same slight sunburst. It's a bit more "dull".
So all in all imo the differences are very small.
